The Muslim Education and Career Promotion Society (MECPS) on Sunday organised a quiz competition for the Muslim students from Class IX to XII at Gandhi Bhawan, Bhopal. More than 100 students took part in the quiz competition.
While addressing the students here on Sunday, Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax (MP and CG) and the Chief Guest of the programme Abrar Ahmed said that Muslim students should work hard while studying. There are no short cuts in education as education is the only sector where, success and progress could be attained by making efforts. Students should study for 8 to 10 hours in order to be successful, he added.
Ahmed further said, “We could answer the people, who have a bad opinion regarding the Muslim, with the help of education. The teachings and the messages of the Islam are for all the people. The government facilities are limited and organizations like MECPS should serve the society and the country.”
Ahmed stated that a trend of educating the daughters has been started among Muslim community and good results are also coming in this but still a large number of girls are being deprived of the education.
Reliable Group’s Executive Director and the special guest of the programme Abdul Tahir said that organizations like MECPS could work for education of the poor children. He appealed the people to help MECPS in order to help the poor children in getting education.
